Kaptur. \u201cThe years long effort to dismantle USPS from within must come to an end. Emboldened by an uninspired board, Postmaster Louis DeJoy has taken a wrecking ball to the Postal Service, and demoralized the hardworking men and women who have persevered through it all. Postal Service management\u2019s disastrous decisions, backward policies, and failure to equip postal workers with proper state of the art equipment have led to Northern Ohio being one of the worst regions in the nation for on-time delivery. We in Ohio are hopeful that new leadership at USPS will help reverse course, and ensure our region receives the service it deserves.\u201d\n\nMore information on Rep. Kaptur\u2019s efforts to combat Postal Service management\u2019s assault on USPS can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://kaptur.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/kaptur-applauds-president-bidens-replacement-usps-board-members"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5494092367589474, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
